    It’s the whole reason science stuff tends to use latin as much as possible. It’s a dead language that is relatively easy to learn, but won’t evolve over time as no one is casually using it.

      Scientific terms describe very specific things in a very specific way. It’s the “no one’s casually using it” part that keeps it more consistent, not the origin of the terms themselves.

      Show me any science paper that is using latin outside of scientific names of animals or anatomy. No one is publishing their research in Latin
